Fuel Facilities
Harrison Aviation owns and operates the only fuel farm located at Arlington Municipal Airport. The
fuel farm consists of four aboveground storage tanks, providing 24,000 gallons of Jet A fuel storage and
24,000 gallons of 100LL storage. Two 12,000‐gallon tanks are dedicated for Jet A fuel and two 12,000‐
gallon tanks are dedicated for 100LL. Access to the fuel farm is provided by a roadway extending west
from South Collins Street. A 1,000‐gallon capacity fuel storage tank located on the south side of the
Airport is also owned and operated by Harrison Aviation and is dedicated for 100LL self‐service.
Full‐service fueling capabilities are also offered via fuel trucks. Harrison Aviation operates five fuel de‐
livery trucks, including three Jet A fuel trucks each having a capacity of 3,000 gallons and two 100LL
fuel trucks each having a capacity of 1,000 gallons.
Fire Station #12
The City of Arlington Fire Station #12 is located approximately 250 feet south of the terminal building,
immediately adjacent to South Collins Street. At least three full‐time firefighters are present at the fa‐
cility 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The facility is designed to provide emergency and rescue
services to the surrounding community as well as for the Airport.
For airport emergencies, the station’s primary response vehicle includes a 750‐gallon capacity fire en‐
gine and a 1,000‐gallon capacity brush truck. Fire department personnel at the fire station have direct
communication with airport operations and ATCT personnel, allowing immediate emergency services
to the airfield when needed.
Arlington Municipal Airport is not a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 139 certificated air‐
port; therefore, it is not required to adhere to aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) standards set forth
by the FAA. While Fire Station #12 and its personnel are not ARFF certified, the station does maintain
equipment and material to aid in aircraft emergencies.
Fencing/Gates
The majority of Arlington Municipal Airport’s operation areas are enclosed with chain‐link fence to
prevent inadvertent access onto the airfield by vehicles and pedestrians. The fence does not always
follow the legal airport property boundary due to the layout of physical features and infrastructure de‐
velopment. In addition, the fuel farm and self‐service fuel facility are enclosed with chain‐link fence for
enhanced security of these facilities.
A project slated to begin later this year at the Airport includes enhancing safety and security through
the implementation of additional perimeter fencing. The project will include six‐foot fencing topped by
three‐strand barbed wire around the entire airport perimeter. In addition, a four‐foot fabric is planned
